Article 1: What Kinds of Messages Help Kids Grow?

I liked this article because it good points that every parent should read. With a simple replacement of a generic praise with process praise, significant differences can be noticed in the child's mindset and success in the future. This article also commented on incorporating the word 'yet' into the child's vocabulary. I can see how this would instantly help kids change their mindset and see challenging tasks as obtainable in the future.

Article 2: Be a Mirror

This article mostly applied to the educational setting, however it has lessons that can be applicable to everyday life. Being a mirror requires knowledge about the growth mindset and helping kids achieve it for themselves. I wish my teachers had used this method with me in the past because it seemed that more often than not, I felt like it was me vs. the classroom and learning, instead of me using the classroom and teachers to my benefit in order to learn.

I think feedback can be very helpful if used correctly and constructively, and harmful if used incorrectly. I love when feedback encourages people to see past their obstacles, and give them motivation to do better. Constructive criticism and using specific phrases along with 'not yet' can make a lasting difference in people's mindset- young or old.

Reading Notes: English Fairy Tales, Part A

The Old Woman and Her Pig When I read this story, it seemed as if this was written to be more of a riddle than a story. The way the story flowed and the sentences were structured was a bit unusual compared to most stories. However, I really enjoyed reading it because it seemed like something I might have heard in my childhood. The story began with introducing an old woman. She lived in a little house and she noticed one day that it was dirty and needed to be swept. So, she decided to clean the house and while she was sweeping, she came across a crooked sixpence. After discovering the pen, she decided she wanted to use it, however, she had no animals to put in the pen. To solve this dilemma, she went into town and bought a piglet. On her way back from the market with her piglet, the piglet was hesitant and would not go over a stile on the ground. So, in order to fix the problem she goes and finds a dog and asks the dog to bite at the pig so the pig would go over the stile. Af...

Topic Brainstorm

[Elephant. Image Information. ] Topic 1: Elephant Fables Elephants are remarkable creatures, and are among my favorite animals. I currently do not know of any folklore stories about elephants, so I am interested in reading some. I would like to learn how elephants are portrayed in the storytelling world. Are they gentle giants? Are they beasts? A combination? I would love to read different stories to see all the ways the elephant is represented. Topic 2: Dog Fables In my experience, dogs are such sweet and kind animals. I am aware there is an abundance of dog fables, however I do not know much about them. I am interested in seeing how the representation of dogs in stories has evolved over the years. Maybe in the beginning they were seen more as beast, and then slowly throughout history their image changed to become more of 'man's best friend'. Topic 3: Feral Children Besides the legendary Tarzan, I am not aware of any other stories of children raised by animals. This...
